A record 134 people can count themselves as billionaires, which is 14 more than 2016.

The richest people on the list are brothers Sri and Gopi Hinduja, who are investors in property, healthcare and oil and gas, and top the list with £16.2 billion, which is £3.2 billion more than the year before.

According to Robert Watts, who compiled the list, a revived stock market was behind the surge in wealth for the super-rich.
